You are not going to get close to loading up your power supply with a 1060 so I should hold out until you have money to upgrade it. It is something I would consider removing, but it's fine for what it's being used for now for a while.

Hello, 

 

I am in abit of a dilemma here. I desperately need a graphics card and will be hopefully getting one next week A 1060 6gb most likely however I have a cx 600w psu and have read on here that it's a tier 5. I would like to get the 1060 6gb but wouldn't be able to afford a new psu or do I get a 3gb and a better psu? I have had it for a few years and has been under normal usage. What do you guys think I should do? Or is my PSU ok for a little while longer.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
